I for one, would propose some wishlist stuff.
all the options like date format etc, should be available to plugin programmers, why (since Lua is already slow, and a rather toyish and hobbled language anyway) should a programmer go thru convolutions and machinations to find out how these things are setup? fh knows them, and it would be de minimis to report them to the programmer.

Ron this post belongs in the Plugins forum, so I'm moving it there.

two things CVG,
I was reading up on where version 7 is at, seeing if its mature enough for me to upgrade. Am I to understand that the file statistics are returned as a table with some function now? If that is the case, then the wishlist for it can go away, and secondly, this is (because at the time I posted it, miketate made some comment about wishlists, and I think that ALL the various program settings being returned to a plugin programmer is wishlist territory.

The V7 plugin help is available online, if that helps, as is the general V7 help.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything new for plugin authors in the statistics arena, but Mike will inevitably correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm curious -- why do you need to know the date format, when FH will handle it happily without you lifting a finger?

e pluribus unum.

Fixed in latest v7 http://www.family-historian.co.uk/v7-updates i believe.

I think Ron is referring to New Wish List Request File statistics for plugins (17689) that has not yet reached the Wish List.
There is certainly nothing new in FH V7 to provide those record counts.
